Starting point – pilot involving one Secondary 1 (Year 7) class in October / November 2006
In the 2006-2007 academic year, the school's Secondary 1 intake comprised 199 students, spread across six classes. The class that was selected to participate was one in the mid range of the ability spectrum. This is quite a limited level of proficiency, equating, impressionistically, to around Level B2 (Vantage) on the Common European Framework Reference scale. This particular class was chosen at random, with the English teacher a willing participant in the wiki venture.
